Rutgers The State University of New Jersey's School of Nursing received a $121,239 project grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) awarded March 5, 2026, with completion scheduled for February 29, 2028. This award supports a career development and research initiative focused on understanding loneliness and inflammatory markers as biopsychosocial pathways to Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) within the rapidly aging Mexican immigrant population in the United States. The award funds both structured career development training and original research. The career development component provides training in four key areas: biological and social pathways shaping AD/ADRD, geriatric mental health and social relationships, epidemiological causal inference, and professional development for independent investigator status. The research project analyzes the interrelationship between loneliness, social relationships, inflammation, and cognition specifically among older Mexican immigrants using data from a nationally representative panel survey complemented by biomarker data from the Rutgers-based cohort. The project employs causal inference methodology to address a research gap regarding origin- and nativity-specific factors influencing cognitive health disparities in immigrant populations, with anticipated deliverables contributing to scholarship aimed at reducing the public health burden of AD/ADRD in this growing U.S. demographic segment.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
